"I just disappeared for a while, when I came back you were already flirting?!" it spoke angrily to me.

"W-what? What flirting? I was just talking to him. He was my friend before, didn't I tell you that? Can't you really stop his evil behavior? I have agreed that you pretend to be your fiancee in front of Senator Garcia. You want me to pretend in front of Julius who is your boyfriend? Are you crazy yet? Why do you have to do that, it's not part of my job to pretend in front of other people!"

"Why, Aira? Shouldn't you be happy because in front of big people you were mistaken for my fiancee? There are so many falling on me. But you're still paying attention to another man!" this annoyed me even more.

"You have a thick face to tell me that. And what is your botce firing? Do you think Julius might just use me to defeat you in the election? That won't happen because I'm not stupid enough to use it. I'm going to resign so you can avoid inventing bad things about me!

You won't do that, Aira. You will not resign! it promised me.

Sean's words made me shake my head. It really hurts the brain. Even my happiness will be stopped.

You are too arrogant and too confident in yourself!

Sean seemed even more angry with me. He came to me and held my arm. And because we were just on the side of Sean's car, he easily leaned me against the door of his car and he focused his two hands on both sides of me. I couldn't speak because Sean and I were almost face to face. I held my breath staring at him. He stared into my eyes until his gaze dropped to my lips. I swallowed saliva. I'm not ready for this, nor did I think that this kind of scene would happen between me and Sean.

"W-what are you, Sean... Let me go!" I ordered him.

I was giving orders but when I was weak. I couldn't push it. I seem to have a hard time when it comes to Sean.

Not far away, Julius watched us. Suddenly, he clenched his fist, his face couldn't be painted, especially when he saw that Sean and I were kissing.Julius was SURPRISED when Shantel suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What are you doing here?" He hooked his hand around Julius's neck. Julius was a bit taken back because of what Shantel did.

"Nothing, I'm just searching Mr. Manego Because I saw him come out here earlier." Julius sneaks up on Shantel. Mr. Manyego is a business man who also attends a birthday party.

"Really? So where is he now? Shantel looked around and also looked for Mr. Manyego but he saw something else.

He saw me and Sean in the parking lot. Just like Julius had in his mind, he also thought that we were kissing.

Oh, look who's over there! said Shantel with her index finger pointing to where we were. But since Julius had already seen that scene, he was not surprised. The truth is that he wanted to come and punch Sean. It just shook its head and seemed unable to see that scene. He turned away to hide the pain he was feeling.

"Let's go inside, maybe they will find us inside." It's just an excuse so he won't see us anymore. Just as Julius was about to enter, Shantel stopped him by the arm.

"Hey, stop! Don't tell me you're jealous? Do you still like him? Shantel asked Julius.

"No," replied Julius seriously.

"Really? And why do you seem affected?"

"I said no. Come inside," Julius invited, but Shantel was stubborn again.

"If you don't like him? Kiss me now. This is a challenge to Julius.

Julius was surprised by what Shantel said. He didn't think that Shantel would tell him this.

"What?!" it only uttered.

"I know this is crazy but I want to know if you are telling the truth. If you don't love him anymore, why can't you kiss me?

Julius was stunned for a moment. He didn't think that Shantel would ask him for this. This is his friend, that's why it's fine with him if he is always sweet to him. And to many people, they are always mistaken for a relationship because she always calls him boyfriend which means male friend, for her it is not a big deal because they have known each other for a long time. Shantel became his friend when he experienced death due to love. So he knows how much he was hurt because of his love for Aira.

"Shantel, I can't do that... we're just friends and friends don't do that." Julius explained to Shantel.

Forget her! Because he doesn't like you. Look at them, she loves Sean, not you! If you really have moved on from him, prove it to me now."

Julius turned back to where we were, but at that time I pushed Sean away because it seemed like he was going to kiss me because our faces were so close. I didn't feel comfortable being that close to Sean so I pushed him away. I was about to walk out when I looked at the entrance where I saw Julius and Shantel. I saw the two of Shantel talking. And for a few moments, I saw Julius pull Shantel's hand and kiss her on the lips.My heart broke when I saw them kissing. I even got stabbed in the chest with a dagger. Tears form in my eyes and I can't hide my feelings. I want to cry but I don't want Sean to see it. So I quickly got into the car.

Sean was surprised to follow me. I know it saw what I saw earlier. And it understood why I suddenly entered the car.

Because of the shock, I ordered Sean to leave the place. Fortunately, that time he followed me. It's like I want to get home right away so I can pour out the pain I'm feeling. Even though I know the truth it still hurts me to see them in such a situation.

"In that case, you have a past with that man? Is that how you reacted when you saw them kissing? Sean suddenly asked me, while he was driving the car.

I didn't speak, I was just silent. I stopped myself from crying so I didn't look at it. I was facing the car window. I feel like my head is hurting from holding back tears. And when I calmly answered Sean, he thought to stop the car on the side of the road and there he asked me again.

"I know you're not okay, so start crying." I turned to Sean, his face was serious. "You lied to me, you said he was just your friend?"

I just silently stared at nothingness. I couldn't seem to stop crying so tears kept falling down my cheeks. I quickly wiped it off because I didn't want Sean to feel sorry for me.

"Yes. He is my ex-boyfriend, I admitted to Sean.

Sean seemed annoyed to hear from me. His palm was still clenched which seemed to increase Sean's anger. But after a while it blew air out of the mouth at the same time as it nodded.

"Now I understand," he said.

Without saying a word, he started the car until we reached home. Sean and I never spoke again. I went to my room with Mama. It was already asleep when I arrived so I didn't wake it up. I lay down on the bed. While lying on the bed, tears were dripping from my eyes. I remember the scene I saw earlier. Even if I force myself to forget Julius, I can't. He's still the stuff of my heart... he's still the one that beats.
